a Robber, cle-Hsnded, Attacks. Wounds

West shore Road-DnIy About $500
Booty Secured by the MIscreant.
ROME, ". Y, March 3l.-A special to rno
Sentinel from Frankfort, n. Y, says EX-
press Messenger Lake, who was robbed
between Clark's mills and Frankfort lsst
night, reached here about midnight and
was able to proceed TO the Office OF 2
physician, whore his wounds were
dressed He was shot in the upper part
of the right arm, the ball passing around
the shoulder, causing an ugly wound
The doctors probed for the ball, but wers
unable to locate it. Lake endured the
operation heroically without chloroforE.
He was weak from the shock and loss o.
blood, but walked to the station and took
the half-past three O'Clock train for Al
bany.
On his way home to Sharon Springs he
stated TO q correspondent that soon after
his train left Clarl1's mills a man entered
his car through the side door, which he
showed back, saying as he entered:
''Throw up your hands" Lake did not
realize for the instant what was up, and
failed to comply with the command. The
intruder leveled his revolver at the mes
senger and shot him. Lake fell to the
floor of the car, when his assailant said !:
Now, damn you, when l tell you tC
hold up your hands again you will do 1t,
won't youf'
The fellow then bound the hands and
feet of Lake and gagged him. One of his
legs the robber tied to tho safe. The
desperate then took bunch Of keys from
the pocket of the messenger and unlocked
the safe, which he rifed Of its money
packages. The amount secured is be-
lieved to have been 500 or $500. The
robber left the car at the Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western crossing at Utica.
where all trains come to stop before
going to the depot Before leaving the
Car the robber said to Lake:
damn you, if you say any thing about
this I'll come back aud kill you"
The messenger replied: "You wouldn't
rob man, then kill him, too, would your
"Yes, would" replied the robber, as
he left
Lake tried to free himself, but did not
succeed. At Utica his car was opened
and he was relieved from his uncorffort-
able position. At this place it was deter.
mined that he had better stop over and
have his wounds attended to.
The messenger says his assailant was
large, strong man, wearing mask that
hung down over his chest. His hair was
cut very short at the back, and his hands
were calloused. hard and dirty.

ADULTERATlON.
Extent to Which Adulteration of Spice
and Condiments Prevails.

and Condiments Prevails.
WASHINGTON, March 3i.-The chemists
of the Department of Agriculture under the
direction of the commissioner have for q
year or more been investigating the extent
and manner Of food adulteratiOn practiced
in this country, and report covering sew
eral branches of the work is III process OF
preparation. That portion relating to
spices and condiments, prepared by Clifford
Richardson, is already completed. The In
vesti9atioDs show that no other kinds OF
human food are adulterated to such an ex.
tent. OF twenty samples of ground cloves
examined only two were pure. The others
had suffered the extraction of their essen.
tial oils and had been polluted by the
addition Of Glove stems, allspice
and husks of various kinds. Oh
eight samples Of cayenne pepper only
one was pure. OF ten samples of mustard
none were pure, unchanged mustard,
though several had only suffered the loss
of their fixed oil. Others, however, con.
tanned quantities of wheat -four, the spuri
Gus matter being in some cases two-thirds
of the compound. This made it necessary
to add tumeric acid (harmless) to restore
the mustard color. Ten samples OF all.
spice were examined, eight of which were
pure, ana 1Our samples OF caSSla were all
pure. OF ten samples Of ginger four were
pure, while only one out of thirteen sam
pies of q black pepper was found
to be what it purported to be.
A specimen sent from Baltimore
to a man who had an army contract was al
most entirely spurious. Cayenne pepper,
black pepper, husks and mustard hulls
were used to give flavor and pungency,
while ''body" was supplied by ground
beans and rice and color by charcoal. Two
samples of mace out of five were pure and
of three samples of nutmeg examined all
We're pure. Mr.. Richardson's experience
leads to the conclusion that the public
has the power in its own hands to
effect reform in the matter of spice
adulteration. The quality Of the article
is usually fixed by the retailer, who
names the price he is willing to pay. The
grinder thereupon estimates the amoZnt OF
pure spice he can afford to put in, and fills
out the order with refuse. Mr.. Richard
son incidentally mentions a New York
spice grinder who within a short
lime worked of 5000 pounds Of cocoanut
husks.

THE Kentucky Court of Appeals
Overruled the petition for q rehearing
in the case of John j. Corneilson. This
is his last resort to evade the punish
ment decreed against him for assault
ing with cowhide Judge Richard
Reid in Mount Sterling in May, 1884.
Reid, it will be remembered, afterward
committed suicide. The verdict of the
lower court was fine of one cent and
costs and confinement in the county
Jail for three years. Corncilson is re-
ported as saying he will surrender and
will not attempt to leave the Stare
Thus, after three years of tedious de-
lay, the ofense of cowhiding Judge of
the highest court of the Commonwealth
will be atoned for.

c. KIRCRoFF, JR., agent for the di-
vision of mining statistics of the Uni

pared preliminary statement of the
production of lead and zinc for 1886,
from which it appears that 114,S29
short tons of desilverized lead, and 20.-
800 short tons of nonargentiferous lead
were produced. A considerable in
crease in the make is expected during
the current year in Southeast Missouri.
The production of spelter in the Uni
ted States is estimated as follows, the
unit being the short ton of s, 1000 pounds:
Illinois, 2l.077; Kansas, 1882; Mis-
souri,, $50; Eastern and Southern
States, 6.762; total, 1854. The re-
ports indicate preparations for further
increase in the product during the cur
rent year.
